Method and apparatus for providing vertically expandable service usage analytics by enterprise groups

Abstract

Method and Apparatus for rapid scalable unified infrastructure system management platform are disclosed by discovery of compute nodes, network components across data centers, both public and private for a user; assessment of type, capability, VLAN, security, virtualization configuration of the discovered unified infrastructure nodes and components; configuration of nodes and components covering add, delete, modify, scale; and rapid roll out of nodes and components across data centers both public and private.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 initiating usage data request upon user input;   policy for detailed usage data mapping per enterprise group; arranging usage data in collapsible hierarchy; and   displaying enterprise group data usage with collapsible hierarchy with vertical expandability in SDC user interface.   
     
     
         2 . An apparatus, comprising:
 data collection and analytics tool built into SDC infrastructure; data mapping functionality applied to data collection; and   policy based algorithm for arranging data in collapsible hierarchy with vertical expandability for ease of user navigation.
